Maggots On A Plane Force It Back To Hartsfield Gate

Passenger Carried On Some Really Bad Meat

File this one under "Ewww" ... and if you're near breakfast or lunch, you might want to read it later. A U.S. Airways flight departing Atlanta's Hartsfield International airport was forced to return to its gate Monday after maggots started dropping out of one of the overhead luggage compartment.

Seems a passenger had brought a container of spoiled meat aboard. The Breitbart news service reports that other passengers began noticing the awfulness, and the plane proceeded back to the gate where there was no question about people being stuck on the plane for three hours ... everybody got off.

Crews cleaned out the overhead bin, and the flight proceeded, albeit somewhat late, to its planned destination of Charlotte. A U.S. Airways spokesman said the plane was then taken out of service and "fumigated" out of an "abundance of caution."
